Diet Culture is Rooted in White Supremacy

On this episode of Tamarindo, we talk about the white supramist roots of diet culture. Joining us is sociology professor and intuitive eating health coach, Dr. Hortenzia Jimenez who approaches anti-dieting from an anti-oppressive, social and racial lens. We also have Miriam Lara-Mejia the creator of Gorda Feminista, a community of over 350K, that focuses on making visible the discrimination, violence, and intolerance of fatphobia, in the Latinx community. Before that, Ana Sheila shares her experience freezing her eggs to help her have the option of becoming a parent.
